The traditional approach to accepting GoldCoins on your website requires that you install the official GoldCoin client daemon ("gldcoind"). Many website hosting packages don't support installing the GoldCoin daemon. Also, running the GoldCoin daemon on your web server means your private keys are hosted on the server and could get stolen if your web server is hacked. When using a Bulk Wallet you can upload only the GoldCoin addresses and not the private keys to your web server. Then you don't have to worry about your GoldCoin wallet being stolen if your web server is hacked.

How do I use a Bulk Wallet to accept GoldCoins on my website?

Use the Bulk Wallet tab to pre-generate a large number of GoldCoin addresses (10,000+). Copy and paste the generated comma separated values (CSV) list to a secure text file on your computer. Backup the file you just created to a secure location.

Import the GoldCoin addresses into a database table on your web server. (Don't put the wallet/private keys on your web server, otherwise you risk hackers stealing your coins. Just the GoldCoin addresses as they will be shown to customers.)

Provide an option on your website's shopping cart for your customer to pay in GoldCoin. When the customer chooses to pay in GoldCoin you will then display one of the addresses from your database to the customer as his "payment address" and save it with his shopping cart order.

You now need to be notified when the payment arrives. Google "GoldCoin payment notification" and subscribe to at least one GoldCoind payment notification service. There are various services that will notify you via Web Services, API, SMS, Email, etc. Once you receive this notification, which could be programmatically automated, you can process the customer's order. To manually check if a payment has arrived you can use Block Explorer. Replace THEADDRESSGOESHERE with the GoldCoin address you are checking. It could take between 10 minutes to one hour for the transaction to be confirmed.http://gld.cryptocoinexplorer.com/address/THEADDRESSGOESHERE

GoldCoins will safely pile up on the block chain. Use the original wallet file you generated in step 1 to spend them.

Your GoldCoin Private Key is a unique secret number that only you know. It can be encoded in a number of different formats. Below we show the GoldCoin Address and Public Key that corresponds to your Private Key as well as your Private Key in the most popular encoding formats (WIF, HEX, B64, MINI).

GoldCoin v0.6+ stores public keys in compressed format. The client now also supports import and export of private keys with importprivkey/dumpprivkey. The format of the exported private key is determined by whether the address was generated in an old or new wallet.
